What Is Educational Technology
And Why Should It Matter?
What Is Educational Technology And Why
Should It Matter?
• The Association for Educational Communications and Technology
(AECT) has defined EdTech as “facilitating learning and improving
performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate
technological processes and resources.”
• it is a concept of transforming traditional book teaching and
learning to digital form.
• EdTech is simply the is a process of integrating technology into
education to build better teaching/learning experiences that result
in higher learning outcomes.
Why Should It Matter?
1. Innovative Teaching Methods
2. Improve Collaborative Teaching
3. Teaching and Learning Process
Innovative Teaching Methods
Technology is an innovation of humans, so when an
educator can apply technology to teaching, it is also
innovative. EdTech allows teachers to provide multimedia
to address diverse learning styles, such as animation, live
video, etc. Besides, EdTech enables teachers to create
online courses where students can learn in their own
space and at their own pace.
Improve Collaborative Teaching
Technology has made it possible for everyone to stay
connected. Students and teachers connect, discuss, share
their opinions, and act upon situations collaboratively.
For example, eLearning is an educational tool that features
collaboration by enabling students to share and discuss.
Instead of being in a classroom and listening to teachers
speak for 30 minutes, eLearning students can join an
online group/platform and learn together by interacting
with their peers
Teaching and Learning Process
1. EdTech benefits how teachers teach, both online and offline. Not
always having to go to a specific class at a specific time, students can
learn whenever and wherever.
2. EdTech changes the way students approach learning. EdTech makes
learning more fun and exciting for students. When we feel engaged in
learning, we learn better, remember better, and also apply knowledge
better to real life.
3. Technology makes education smarter, more effective, thus, satisfying
learners’ needs more. True educators bring valuable knowledge to
learners, both in theory and in real life.

Video-Assisted Learning
Video-assisted learning (VAL) is defined as a strategic
teaching approach to using videos – either educational or
conceptual – to improve a student’s comprehension,
cognitive ability, or social-emotional skills. What that
means is that videos are more than just a way to pass
time or provide additional information on a specific
learning objective. Video-assisted learning takes videos
and transforms them into an important part of both
general education and student wellbeing
Blockchain Technology
Blockchain is a highly transparent, resilient,
and efficiently distributed public ledger (or
database) that is dispersed in a cloud-based
format that includes data spread
geographically across a peer-to-peer network
of computers.
